In addition to classes, each school in the cooperative system holds a variety of events throughout the year. First of all, learning events include the annual study presentation in December and the speech contest in March ~ April, which are important opportunities for students to practice their learning. In addition, Japanese events such as New Year's, Setsubun, Hinamatsuri, and Children's Day are held as close as possible to the actual events so that students can experience them firsthand. In addition, each school holds its own events such as school festivals, bazaars, pancake breakfasts, welcome parties for new students, and parent-teacher conferences to raise funds and promote communication between students, parents, and teachers.
